This whole post strikes me as somebody making up a world as he believes it ought to be and then suggesting advice for navigating that world, rather than the real one. For example:
> Always encourage engineers to show their work as quickly as possible
Yep, that sounds like great advice. On "paper", anyway. I tried to do that when I first started out, too. What I found was that communicating "this is just an early draft, it'll be better when I'm finished" was well-near impossible, no matter how hard I tried.

Generally the higher up the food chain the less likely that people will 'get it' if it is not an extremely polished Proof-of-Concept (there are exceptions of course). If I am going to play amateur psychology, I would say that people who are generally more perfectionist types and are likely get caught up in details are less likely to give a healthy review on work-in-progress.
